Instead of laying a new line between KKDI to MDU, via Pillayairpatti, Thirupathur, Melur, Consider a new short line between SVG and ILA to enable cost cutting and time save. If this new short line is completed, it will enable quick service between KKDI to MDU which has been a long term demand of KKDI people. This service also covers SVG which is the district HQ of sivagangai district.

In view of the fast growing Karaikkudi town, farmers and business people from Karaikkudi region believe that projects announced in various budgets would be completed as soon as new MP takes charge. Also they request railway officials that Karaikkudi Jn to be transferred under TPJ division from the existing MDU division. They plea for early completion of MDU-KKDI new line (2008 Budget), KKDI-TN new line (2010 Budget) and KKDI-MV GC.

Why because TVR- KKDI GC work initiated ., will be expected to complete 2016.So If any one of the above project approved then MS - KKDI [MS-VM-MV-TVR-KKDI] a separate route connected with any one of the project bye passing TPJ,MDU to go to south districts.

In a meeting to be held in Tiruchi on 18/11/14, regarding various ongoing railway projects, people expect MPs to discuss about MDU-KKDI new line. GM Rakesh Misra to participate._________________Rajesh Kumar

Tvr-kkdi completed then can open 3 Rd line to mdu from Ms verywell via kkdi. So kkdi-mdu route much preferred after Tvr-kkdi completion.kkdi-dg is useful plni season, kkdi-cape,kkdi-cbe short route.,and pill.patti,thirupatr,singampunari, kottampatti, natham will hear some train sounds

Going by the current state of operations, I would say let KKDI - DG new line be dropped and the funds can effectively be used to take up some project that benefits KKDI, maybe KKDI - MDU itself. Similar to the recently laid new lines like KRR - NMKL - SA, NGT - VLKN, NCR - KIK, BG converted lines like VPT - MNM, VM - KPD, TPJ - MV - VM, TJ/ MV - TVR - NGT - NCR, DG - POY - PGTN, VPT - TSI - TEN, let this line not waste available limited resources for hardly 1 or 2 trains a day.

The line is beneficial to connect KKDI to DG in a shorter route thereby connecting CBE, KRR, PGT or beyond. Just to serve this purpose, KKDI - MDU can be done if it would significantly reduce KKDI - MDU distance compared to the currently existing one via MNM.

By seeing the way the funds are being allocated, only financially/economically viable projects are funded. The rest are in the worst state only, these projects finds no justification of ROI, so there is no light even at the end of the tunnel._________________Deepak / Trichy.

What happen to this project. Is that only a proposal or just dreams? KKDI-MDU is a much-awaited route. The past & present generation of Melur, Thirupattur, Pillaiyarpatti, kundrakudi people were never had a chance of train journey. Let the present generation exhibit this. They are bound to board busses to reach chennai.
